Prody suffers head injury
Fergus Falls native is OJ’s girlfriend
Published Friday, February 15, 2008
Christine Prody, daughter of Clair Prody, Lakeland Mental Health executive director, and Cathy Bellmore, is being treated for a significant head injury in Miami, Fla., that she sustained in a fall Monday. The Miami Herald reported that Prody was listed in serious condition by Baptist Hospital in Miami.
Prody, 32, who has been dating ex-NFL star O.J. Simpson since 1999, hit her head during a fall at a Miami gas station and was hospitalized in intensive care, a police report said. Her father was unavailable for comment.
The Miami Herald reported that officers went to the hospital Tuesday to speak with Prody's mother, who in 2001 moved from Edina to Florida. Bellmore told them that her daughter and Simpson recently returned from San Antonio, where they attended a Super Bowl party.
Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, told the Herald that his client was not being investigated and had nothing to do with Prody's injury. Investigators interviewed Simpson, according to the Herald, and he said he and Prody returned from Texas on separate flights days apart.

What does the fact that they had attended a Super Bowl party in Texas have to do with anything?
I hope she recovers completely.

I hope that Prody gets better and her and OJ can move on with their lives, but seriously is this the only thing that the Daily Journal has to report on???
Why on earth would I care about the travel plans and the super bowl party that they attended.
Last time I checked, MY LIFE DID NOT REVOLVE AROUND OJ SIMPSON.
By the way ... Bob ... did you get in the paper?? If so ... who do you date??? Make sure that they take seperate flights and are not involved in your mishap. HAHAHA Thanks for the laugh Daily Journal.

If my daughter dated O.J. Simpson, I sure wouldn’t tell anyone about it.

Then again if she has a head injury that’s probably why she is dating O.J. Simpson.

Oh look everybody, my daughter is dating a double murderer! How exciting. Doesn’t that make your small town lives seem dull?

We are going to have O.J. over for Thanksgiving day dinner. We are having Turkey nuggets so we don’t have to carve a Turkey and plastic forks.

Seriously people... What is your problem? Regardless of the fact that this woman dated OJ Simpson, she IS A PERSON, with PARENTS AND A SIBLING WHO LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY!!! HAVE SOME RESPECT!

I can't respect anyone who dates OJ Simpson, but hopefully her parents have tried to talk some sense into her. I wonder if OJ had anything to do with her fall? I wonder, I wonder....

Her mom is in mental health? I sure hope she goes visit her because anyone who would date OJ NEEDS it checked. Head injuries, bleeding in the brain can happen over days and amybe when she went to the gas station it hit her and she fell. that is my true belief. OJ IS a double murder and he will do it again

WOW! All this hubbub over a fall. Gotta say, though, that despite the bad publicity of being in a relationship with the Juice, it's relevancy to the story is only that there is one. It needn't have been included as part of the story of the head injury, but it sure made people read on. Marketing 101.

I almost hit my head on the gas pump too after recently filling my gas tank...........I'm still not interested in dating OJ though! If I were her, I'd go to the shed & take an inventory count. I hope no tools are missing!
